@robertgraham Missing the true best of the last 20 years (_just_ in time), Blindsight by Peter Watts.

I’m happy to announce the release of a new open source 3D physics engine called Box3D. I’ve been working on this project for a few years now, but it represents over 20 years of experience writing physics engines for games. Read more here: https://t.co/2d9aVuUsxj

@robertgraham Replacing furnaces with electric heat pumps was one of Robert Habecks key policies in the last administration. He got raked over the coals for it, pun intended. Conservative ran fearmongering campaigns about the government coming into your home and taking away your boilers.

@fabynou You have a real knack for writing things that are catnip for me.

@graphicsenjoyer @ocornut Oh god, I love that cmdline interface. Really takes me back to my first BASIC programming back in the day.

@EricLengyel I sure take issue with almost all software patents, but hard to argue that your case is not a poster boy example of allowing an inventor to build a business around a genuine innovation. And now a very generous and principled coup de grace to see it off. I admire this greatly.

@thefranke When I bought my 4080 a while ago I figured "it'll be good until PS6 era truly begins, that'll be a while". I had no idea how right I was.

My "How to Vulkan in 2026" @VulkanAPI #Vulkan guide is now publicly available at https://t.co/Xy9rSIRBT8
I still consider it a preview, though I'm mostly happy with it and only plan on changing minor things and incorporating some feedback.

[Sebastian Wagner @swapsen]

@SaschaWillems2 @VulkanAPI An up to date guide like that (presumably giving an overview of what subset is relevant today in which context?) would probably be the single most useful piece of Vulkan documentation currently missing. A decade's worth of change and simplification to navigate...

SDL3 is officially released!

3.2.0 is our first stable build. Go get it and have a ton of fun with it!

Such sad news. We've lost one of the greats.

Oof, this one hurts.

With much excitement and after a 3 year hiatus, I share my latest blog post "A New algorithm on multi-armed bandits".
https://t.co/HmnCxo136B

This topic that falls under the broad umbrella of #ReinforcementLearning and played a key role in the AlphaGo algorithm.

@KostasAAA And traction. A bit of writing advice that I heard goes "Just punch out a bad first draft, do whatever it takes to create the body of work fully first, no matter how far below your standards it comes out. After that you are just editing, which is easier."

@robertgraham @halvarflake HLI - Heute lernte ich.
Keeps it a snappy 3 letters.

@thefranke I see they made sure that Custer's Revenge is fully compatible.

@mlimper_cg You mean a term? "Concavity"?

[Sebastian Wagner @swapsen]

@mlimper_cg And then there's the worry that AI pulls in code fragments that are identifiable and not licensable in a way you can accord with? Would be interesting to see if e.g. investors will consider large amounts of AI generated code a risk factor for maintenance AND legal?

[Sebastian Wagner @swapsen]

@mlimper_cg MVP from scratch is one thing, growing a more substantial software and getting AI to create solutions with existing data structures, constraints etc should be a bit more challenging. Also, probably more applicable to very repetitive tasks than unique technical ones.
